< John 11 >
1 NOW a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
Ara ọkùnrin kan kò sì dá, Lasaru, ará Betani, tí í ṣe ìlú Maria àti Marta arábìnrin rẹ̀.
2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
Maria náà ni ẹni tí ó fi òróró ìkunra kun Olúwa, tí ó sì fi irun orí rẹ̀ nù ún, arákùnrin rẹ̀ ni Lasaru í ṣe, ara ẹni tí kò dá.
3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
Nítorí náà, àwọn arábìnrin rẹ̀ ránṣẹ́ sí i, wí pé, “Olúwa, wò ó, ara ẹni tí ìwọ fẹ́ràn kò dá.”
4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
Nígbà tí Jesu sì gbọ́, ó wí pé, “Àìsàn yìí kì í ṣe sí ikú, ṣùgbọ́n fún ògo Ọlọ́run, kí a lè yin Ọmọ Ọlọ́run lógo nípasẹ̀ rẹ̀.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Jesu sì fẹ́ràn Marta, àti arábìnrin rẹ̀ àti Lasaru.
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
Nítorí náà, nígbà tí ó ti gbọ́ pé, ara rẹ̀ kò dá, ó gbé ọjọ́ méjì sí i níbìkan náà tí ó gbé wà.
7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judæa again.
Ǹjẹ́ lẹ́yìn èyí ni ó wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a tún padà lọ sí Judea.”
8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ sì wí fún un pé, “Rabbi, ní àìpẹ́ yìí ni àwọn Júù ń wá ọ̀nà láti sọ ọ́ ní òkúta; ìwọ sì tún padà lọ síbẹ̀?”
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
Jesu dáhùn pé, “Wákàtí méjìlá kọ́ ni ó bẹ nínú ọ̀sán kan bí? Bí ẹnìkan bá rìn ní ọ̀sán, kì yóò kọsẹ̀, nítorí tí ó rí ìmọ́lẹ̀ ayé yìí.
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹnìkan bá rìn ní òru, yóò kọsẹ̀, nítorí tí kò sí ìmọ́lẹ̀ nínú rẹ̀.”
11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni ó sọ, lẹ́yìn èyí nì ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Lasaru ọ̀rẹ́ wa sùn; ṣùgbọ́n èmi ń lọ kí èmi kí ó lè jí i dìde nínú orun rẹ̀.”
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
Nítorí náà àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ wí fún un pé, “Olúwa, bí ó bá ṣe pé ó sùn, yóò sàn.”
13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu ń sọ ti ikú rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n rò pé, ó ń sọ ti orun sísùn.
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Nígbà náà ni Jesu wí fún wọn gbangba pé, “Lasaru ti kú.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
Èmi sì yọ̀ nítorí yín, tí èmi kò sí níbẹ̀. Kí ẹ le gbàgbọ́; ṣùgbọ́n ẹ jẹ́ kí a lọ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.”
16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
Nítorí náà Tomasi, ẹni tí à ń pè ní Didimu, wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn ẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí àwa náà lọ, kí a lè bá a kú pẹ̀lú.”
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
Nítorí náà nígbà tí Jesu dé, ó rí i pé a ti tẹ́ ẹ sínú ibojì ní ọjọ́ mẹ́rin ná,
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
ǹjẹ́ Betani súnmọ́ Jerusalẹmu tó ibùsọ̀ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún.
19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
Ọ̀pọ̀ nínú àwọn Júù sì wá sọ́dọ̀ Marta àti Maria láti tù wọ́n nínú nítorí ti arákùnrin wọn.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
Nítorí náà, nígbà tí Marta gbọ́ pé Jesu ń bọ̀ wá, ó jáde lọ pàdé rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Maria jókòó nínú ilé.
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Nígbà náà, ni Marta wí fún Jesu pé, “Olúwa, ìbá ṣe pé ìwọ ti wà níhìn-ín, arákùnrin mi kì bá kú.
22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí náà, mo mọ̀ pé, ohunkóhun tí ìwọ bá béèrè lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run, Ọlọ́run yóò fi fún ọ.”
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
Jesu wí fún un pé, “Arákùnrin rẹ yóò jíǹde.”
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Marta wí fún un pé, “Mo mọ̀ pé yóò jíǹde ní àjíǹde ìkẹyìn.”
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Jesu wí fún un pé, “Èmi ni àjíǹde àti ìyè, ẹni tí ó bá gbà mí gbọ́, bí ó tilẹ̀ kú, yóò yè.
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? (aiōn )
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ń bẹ láààyè, tí ó sì gbà mí gbọ́, kì yóò kú láéláé ìwọ gbà èyí gbọ́?” (aiōn )
27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
Ó wí fún un pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, Olúwa, èmi gbàgbọ́ pé, ìwọ ni Kristi náà Ọmọ Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí ń bọ̀ wá sí ayé.”
28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
Nígbà tí ó sì ti wí èyí tan, ó lọ, ó sì pe Maria arábìnrin rẹ̀ sẹ́yìn wí pé, “Olùkọ́ dé, ó sì ń pè ọ́.”
29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
Nígbà tí ó gbọ́, ó dìde lọ́gán, ó sì wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
Jesu kò tí ì wọ ìlú, ṣùgbọ́n ó wà ní ibi kan náà tí Marta ti pàdé rẹ̀.
31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
Nígbà tí àwọn Júù tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ nínú ilé, tí wọ́n ń tù ú nínú rí Maria tí ó dìde kánkán, tí ó sì jáde, wọ́n tẹ̀lé, wọ́n ṣe bí ó ń lọ sí ibojì láti sọkún níbẹ̀.
32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Nígbà tí Maria sì dé ibi tí Jesu wà, tí ó sì rí i, ó wólẹ̀ lẹ́bàá ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, ó wí fún un pé, “Olúwa, ìbá ṣe pé ìwọ ti wà níhìn-ín, arákùnrin mi kì bá kú.”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
Nígbà tí Jesu rí i, tí ó ń sọkún, àti àwọn Júù tí ó bá a wá ń sọkún pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, ó kérora nínú ẹ̀mí, inú rẹ̀ sì bàjẹ́.
34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
Ó sì wí pé, “Níbo ni ẹ̀yin gbé tẹ́ ẹ sí?” Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Olúwa, wá wò ó.”
36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
Nítorí náà àwọn Júù wí pé, “Sá wò ó bí ó ti fẹ́ràn rẹ̀ tó!”
37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
Àwọn kan nínú wọn sì wí pé, “Ọkùnrin yìí, ẹni tí ó la ojú afọ́jú, kò lè ṣe é kí ọkùnrin yìí má kú bí?”
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
Nígbà náà ni Jesu tún kérora nínú ara rẹ̀, ó wá sí ibojì, ó sì jẹ́ ihò, a sì gbé òkúta lé ẹnu rẹ̀.
39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
Jesu wí pé, “Ẹ gbé òkúta náà kúrò!” Marta, arábìnrin ẹni tí ó kú náà wí fún un pé, “Olúwa, ó ti ń rùn nísinsin yìí, nítorí pé ó di ọjọ́ kẹrin tí ó tí kú.”
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
Jesu wí fún un pé, “Èmi kò ti wí fún ọ pé, bí ìwọ bá gbàgbọ́, ìwọ yóò rí ògo Ọlọ́run?”
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n gbé òkúta náà kúrò (níbi tí a tẹ́ ẹ sí). Jesu sì gbé ojú rẹ̀ sókè, ó sì wí pé, “Baba, mo dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ rẹ nítorí tí ìwọ gbọ́ tèmi.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
Èmi sì ti mọ̀ pé, ìwọ a máa gbọ́ ti èmi nígbà gbogbo, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí ìjọ ènìyàn tí ó dúró yìí ni mo ṣe wí i, kí wọn ba à lè gbàgbọ́ pé ìwọ ni ó rán mi.”
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
Nígbà tí ó sì wí bẹ́ẹ̀ tan, ó kígbe lóhùn rara pé, “Lasaru, jáde wá.”
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
Ẹni tí ó kú náà sì jáde wá, tí a fi aṣọ òkú dì tọwọ́ tẹsẹ̀ a sì fi gèlè dì í lójú. Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ tú u, ẹ sì jẹ́ kí ó máa lọ!”
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
Nítorí náà ni ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn Júù tí ó wá sọ́dọ̀ Maria, tí wọ́n rí ohun tí Jesu ṣe, ṣe gbà á gbọ́.
46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ẹlòmíràn nínú wọn tọ àwọn Farisi lọ, wọ́n sì sọ fún wọn ohun tí Jesu ṣe.
47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn Farisi pe ìgbìmọ̀ jọ. Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Kín ni yóò jẹ àṣeyọrí wa? Nítorí ọkùnrin yìí ń ṣe ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ iṣẹ́ àmì.
48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
Bí àwa bá fi í sílẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀, gbogbo ènìyàn ni yóò gbà á gbọ́, àwọn ará Romu yóò sì wá gba ilẹ̀ àti orílẹ̀-èdè wa pẹ̀lú.”
49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
Ṣùgbọ́n Kaiafa, ọ̀kan nínú wọn, ẹni tí í ṣe olórí àlùfáà ní ọdún náà, ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin kò mọ ohunkóhun rárá!
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ kò sì ronú pé, ó ṣàǹfààní fún wa, kí ènìyàn kan kú fún àwọn ènìyàn kí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè má ba à ṣègbé.”
51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
Kì í ṣe fún ara rẹ̀ ni ó sọ èyí ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ti jẹ́ olórí àlùfáà ní ọdún náà, ó sọtẹ́lẹ̀ pé, Jesu yóò kú fún orílẹ̀-èdè náà,
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
kì sì í ṣe kìkì fún orílẹ̀-èdè náà nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n fún àwọn ọmọ Ọlọ́run tí ó fọ́nká kiri, kí ó le kó wọn papọ̀, kí ó sì sọ wọ́n di ọ̀kan.
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
Nítorí náà, láti ọjọ́ náà lọ ni wọ́n ti jọ gbìmọ̀ pọ̀ láti pa á.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
Nítorí náà Jesu kò rìn ní gbangba láàrín àwọn Júù mọ́; ṣùgbọ́n ó ti ibẹ̀ lọ sí ìgbèríko kan tí ó súnmọ́ aginjù, sí ìlú ńlá kan tí a ń pè ní Efraimu, níbẹ̀ ni ó sì wà pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀.
55 And the Jews’ passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
Àjọ ìrékọjá àwọn Júù sì súnmọ́ etílé, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ láti ìgbèríko sì gòkè lọ sí Jerusalẹmu ṣáájú ìrékọjá, láti ya ara wọn sí mímọ́.
56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n ń wá Jesu, wọ́n sì ń bá ara wọn sọ̀, bí wọ́n ti dúró ní tẹmpili, wí pé, “Kín ni ẹyin ti rò ó sí pé kì yóò wá sí àjọ?”
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.
Ǹjẹ́ àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn Farisi ti pàṣẹ pé bí ẹnìkan bá mọ ibi tí ó gbé wà, kí ó fi í hàn, kí wọn ba à lè mú un.
